If you want to have the more traditional Cha-chas, you should look for the following songs.

* Guantanamera (Various artists... I guess every Latin American singer must have performed this at least once. Some versions may not have the cha-cha clave.)
* Guajira (Buena Vista Social Club, Afro-Cuban All Stars)
* Buena Vista Social Club. This is the name of the song, the band and the album! This is a quite slow chacha, good for practicing.
* Cariñoso. Tito Puente - This is the guy that composed some of the most famous Santana songs. This is also slow and good for practice.
* Quizas, Quizas (Perhaps, perhaps) Have you seen "Coupling," the British sitcom? This is the theme. By various, various artists.
* No Hay Problema, Pink Martini, Sympathique

I love those songs - it's weird because before I started dancing I loved them and never realised that they were cha cha songs. Anyway, my FAVE cha cha songs are on the "Pais Tropical" album. My dance teacher let me borrow it - it's great! Also I like "Sway" but that's common lol.
